Resumo
Este trabalho apresenta o paradigma antropológico paulino-agostiniano da ambivalência do eu-moral, cuja importância histórica foi revolucionar a antropologia intelectualista grega e introduzir uma nova interpretação do binômio saúde e doença. A antropologia paulino-agostiniana compreendeu a ambivalência do eu-moral como doença estrutural do homem, condição conflitante que clama por solução. A cura foi interpretada como superação da ambivalência do eu-moral, que ocorre mediante o encontro com o transcendente. Argumenta-se aqui que este paradigma antropológico deve ser considerado nas investigações sobre a história da psicologia, dado ser uma poderosa influência sobre a interpretação da temática da saúde e da doença. Uma breve exposição da moral autônoma em Jean Piaget, bem como da idéia de ambivalência na psicanálise são apresentadas. Essa exposição tem objetivo de mostrar que a antropologia paulino-agostiniana possui repercussão na tradição interpretativa acerca do homem na psicologia moderna, apesar de ser antagonizada pela antropologia Iluminista.
Palavras-chave: Agostinho de Hipôna; história da psicologia; saúde e doença; ambivalência do eu-moral; cura.

Abstract
This article presents the Paulinian-Agostinian anthropological paradigm of the moral ambivalence, which historical importance was to revolutionize the Greek intellectualistic anthropology and to introduce a new interpretation of the health and sickness binome. The Paulinian-Augustinian anthropology understood the me-moral ambivalence as a human structural sickness. The cure has been interpreted as an overcome of the me-moral ambivalence, which happens through the encounter with the transcendental. Here the argument is that the anthropological paradigm must be considered during a historical investigation of psychology, since it’s a mighty influence over the interpretation of the health and sickness’s theme. A brief exposition of Piaget’s concept of autonomous morality, of Vygotsky’s voluntary’s theory, as well as the psychoanalysis’s idea of ambivalence are presented. This study aims at showing that the Paulinian-Augustinian anthropology reflects the interpretative tradition of human in modern psychology, in spite of being antagonized by the Illuministic anthropology.
Keywords: Augustine of Hippo; Psychology’s history; health and sickness; me-moral ambivalence; cure.

Bernard Suzanne: Nous et noein dans les dialogues de Platon

Un certain nombre de termes dérivés de la racine noos/nous jouent un grand rôle dans les dialogues et en particulier dans les discussions dont on croit pouvoir extraire une « théorie des idées » attribuable à Platon. C'est par exemple le cas de noèton (voir la page consacrée à ce mot), en particulier dans les livres VI et VII de la République, ou encore de dianoia. Cette page donne quelques éléments pour mieux comprendre ce terme, ainsi que le verbe qui en dérive, noein, et ses composés, et retrouver les usages qui en sont faits dans les dialogues.

Lloyd P. Gerson: Some Aspects of Nous and Noesis in Plato

Sometimes scholars of ancient Greek philosophy—perhaps unconsciously—substitute translation for explanation. This is particularly evident in translations of the language of what used to be called higher cognition. We read, for example, that nou'" for Plato is "mind" or "reason" or "intellect" and that the activity in which nou'" engages, namely, novhsi", is "intellection" or "intuition" or "thinking" or "understanding" or "knowing," and so on. One need not quarrel with these translations in order to point out they are just placeholders for a genuine account of Plato's intentions or meaning. This is particularly evident given that the linguistic and conceptual apparatus surrounding the use of such English terms have no clear Platonic application. To take one simple example, in English it is easy to suppose that understanding is often equivalent to cognizing a term or concept where the criterion of "cognizing" is success in their application. For Plato, by contrast, there are very good grounds indeed for thinking that understanding intelligible reality is not equivalent to understanding words or concepts. If that is so, then what is understanding supposed by Plato to be? Similar considerations could be adduced for virtually every English term used to translate nou'" and nohvsi".
In this paper, I want to advance one general and one specific claim. The general claim is that Plato's approach to cognition or, if one likes, to epistemology, is incomprehensible apart from his metaphysics. The specific claim is that Plato has something precise in mind when he is talking about novhsi". To put it emblematically and, I confess, anachronistically, he is talking about the cognition of material identity. In a way, this type of cognition is for Plato the daily bread of philosophy. In addition, as we shall see in a moment, its ubiquity and irreducibility to any other type of cognition is itself a powerful reason supporting of Plato's metaphysics.
I am henceforth going to use the placeholders "intellect" and "intellection" for nou'" and novhsi", respectively. I do this with a certain amount of diffidence and with no other intention than to preserve the etymological connection between the two terms and the terms for their objects, namely, ta; nohtav and ta; noouvmena, or "intelligibles".

Philippe Soual: L’héroïsme de la liberté chez Descartes

Cet article étudie la conception cartésienne de la liberté, d’abord dans son essence métaphysique, en tant que résolution de l’ego singulier à la liberté éclairée, dans la pensée et dans l’action, et ensuite dans ses conséquences morales et politiques. Il montre que Descartes énonce une conception héroïque de la liberté, en vertu de la noblesse du libre arbitre présent en tout homme, ce qui implique une intériorisation et une universalisation de l’idéal aristocratique, dans une morale de la générosité et de la charité dans l’amitié. Il esquisse à partir de là une politique cartésienne possible, dans la figure de l’individu et dans celle du prince, en tant qu’union des volontés infinies et libres, et en tant que vie qui ouvre aux plus héroïques actions humaines, dans un monde où il s’agit d’être homme de bien.  
This article studies the cartesian conception of freedom, first in its metaphysical essence, as resolution of the singular ego to enlightened freedom, both in thought and in action, and then in its moral and political consequences. It shows that Descartes announces a heroic conception of freedom, by virtue of the nobility of the free will present in all men, which implies an interiorization and a universalization of the aristocratic ideal, in a morality of generosity and charity in friendship. It sketches from there a cartesian policy liable in the person of the individual and in that of the prince, as the union of infinite and free wills, and as the life which opens on the most heroic of human actions, in a world which places importance on being a gentleman.

Heidegger e Foucault, críticos da modernidade (Heidegger and Foucault, critics of modernity)

Heidegger and Foucault, critics of modernity: humanism, technics and biopolitics
André Duarte1

RESUMO
Discute-se o diagnóstico crítico da Modernidade proposto por Heidegger e Foucault enfatizando as suas continuidades. Em linhas gerais, pode-se afirmar que, em Heidegger, é a reflexão filosófica que se assume enquanto essencialmente histórica, ao passo que, para Foucault, é a investigação essencialmente histórica que assume o caráter de reflexão filosófica. No entanto, ainda que a partir de démarches teóricas distintas, ambos consideram que a compreensão a respeito de quem somos, hoje, depende de uma análise da constituição da modernidade como época histórica determinada pelo humanismo, isto é, pela concepção do homem como senhor da totalidade do ente (Heidegger) e pela concepção do homem como sujeito e objeto de relações de poder-saber (Foucault). Tal mutação epocal na concepção do humano foi decisiva para a liberação da revolução científica que culminou na técnica moderna e na biopolítica. Se, como afirma Foucault, a biopolítica é a política de nosso tempo, ou seja, de uma época que politizou o fenômeno da vida por meio de sua gestão técnico-administrativa, então a técnica moderna, que implica a concepção do homem como sujeito assujeitado pela tecnologia, constitui a instância por meio da qual a vida humana pode ser simultaneamente produzida e aniquilada por meios científicos.
Palavras-chave: Foucault; Heidegger; modernidade; humanismo; técnica moderna; biopolítica.

ABSTRACT
I intend to discuss Foucault's and Heidegger's critical diagnosis of Modernity emphasizing its continuities. Generally speaking, it is possible to argue that in Heidegger philosophical reflection assumes itself as essentially historical, while in Foucault's case historical investigation assumes itself as an essentially philosophical task. Although recognizing the differences between Foucault's and Heidegger's general theoretical approaches, I argue that both consider that, in order to understand who we are today, it is necessary to elaborate a critical understanding of Modernity. In both cases, Modernity is viewed as a historical epoch characterized by humanism, i.e., by the projection of human beings as 'master' of all beings (Heidegger) and as subject and object of power-knowledge relationships (Foucault). This epocal mutation in the way man is conceived was decisive in order to liberate the modern scientific revolution that later culminated in modern technology and in biopolitics. If, as Foucault says, biopolitics is the politics of our time, i.e., of an epoch that has politicized life by means of the calculated administration of all phenomena of life-population, then modern technique, which implies the conception of man as the subjected-subject of technology, constitutes the instance by which human life can be protected, promoted, generated, as well as destroyed and discarded.
Keywords: Foucault; Heidegger; Modernity; humanism; modern technology; biopolitics.

Resumo
Part of the late 19th century philosophical historiography attempts to renew the image of Parmenides of Elea, consolidated by tradition as an isolated, strange and venerable philosopher of immobilism, recovering the intimate relations he had with the cultural demands of his time. The purpose of this article is to reconnect Parmenides with his time by presenting the lively thought of a man who was not only a philosopher but also a scientist and a politician of great relevance.

Lorem Ipsum

"All testing, all confirmation and disconfirmation of a hypothesis takes place already within a system. And this system is not a more or less arbitrary and doubtful point of departure for all our arguments; no it belongs to the essence of what we call an argument. The system is not so much the point of departure, as the element in which our arguments have their life."
- Wittgenstein
